antes are 1/5th the bring in.
What are you looking to start with early on?

any 3 baby suited connectors and rolled trips obviously, but how about 3 low cards, like 36/A rainbow?

And what about late game? any middle pair with low kicker? Would you still play low suited conenctors? what about big pairs with no low outs?

are there places with SNG of stud/8? And are there places there where the players don't play (let alone don't raise) with (36)A rainbow? That's a good starting hand with 3 to a low, 2 to the wheel, backdoor str8 chances and the A door card!

Straight from the Zee-man himself:

1: Rolled-up trips.
2: Three cards to a low straight flush.
3: Two aces with a low card.
4: Three small cards to a straight.
5: Two small cards with an ace.
6: The best high hand on board.
7: Three high cards to a consecutive straight flush.
8: Small pairs with an ace kicker.
9: Small pairs with a low kicker.
10: The razz hands.
11: Three low cards to an eight.
12: Three flushes.
13: Higher three straights.
14: Small pairs with a medium or large kicker.
15: Medium high straights.

[/ QUOTE ]It's an undersog to any hand with a middle pocket pair or better heads up, and thus weak late game anyway.

You can play stud & stud8 at party and skins... fills up fairly quickly too.

Wonderful list... does he say which are the best hands shorthanded? What to look for in your opponent's door cards?
